I don't see this as a bad thing. Workign toward a cease fire between the Palestinians and Isreal is a bit more important than MSNBC's ratings at the moment.
Re: Barry grants FIRST television interview as President
I understand Barry trying to "keep the peace" between Israel and the Palestinians, but his first interview as prez should've been done by a U.S. News network, imho.

Re: Barry grants FIRST television interview as President
Read the plan. Look at all the fawking pork in it. 4 billion $ to Acorn????????????? Are you serious? No, really... are you serious, Barry? I'm starting to miss Dubya every day that goes by with Barry-the-douchebag in office.
Oh, and STFU Leah. I've never said anything bad about you. In fact, I've always complimented you. I was being a juvenile dickwad, but I can't stand him and call him out on his ASININE decisions, and will continue to do so. Barry is your Messiah. We get it. If you don't like my posts then do what your brother does and put me on IGNORE. Thx~

Re: Barry grants FIRST television interview as President
Alright. I haven't heard about this Acorn business, as far as $4million, but I've got NPR on and haven't really heard any news all day to be honest. Well, some stories.
I usually listen to AM radio. Oh wait, they are saying Obama went to lobby for himself. They want to keep politics to a minimum.
Tax cuts would be a way to go. They don't tax you on that. I don't want money. Don't send it.

Re: Barry grants FIRST television interview as President
Acorn is a leftist crime organization (who supported Barry btw). Google the lawsuits they are in right. I think they're being sued in like 12 states right now.

I know about ACORN business, just not about the aim to give them $4 mil.

WHOA unnecessary. never have i been as vocal about my political beliefs as others--say, arlos or gyps--and never once have i said that i think barack obama is a messiah (which i actually find mildly insulting as someone of the christian faith) or have i expressed a desire to fellate him. ew. yes, i think he's the right choice for our country and i think he will do some amazing things. i also think it's far too early in the process to be making judgment calls as to whether his choices so far have been "asinine" or negative in any way. think about it: we all thought bush was the shit after he held it together in the weeks following 9/11, but that obviously turned out to be a fluke and he did some pretty stupid things in the other 7.5 years of his presidency. point is, give obama a chance to succeed or to fail before calling it one way or the other. the guy's been in office for a week, for crying out loud.
also quit being a dick.
lolz
Re: Barry grants FIRST television interview as President
FURTHERMORE, i would be irritated by the whole "barry" thing whether i was a lefty or a righty. i just think it's annoying to use someone's name to belittle them. how childish. if you don't like his politics, formulate thoughtful and reasonable arguments for your point; don't just dance around disrespecting him and crying oral sex in every thread. grow up.
lolz
Re: Barry grants FIRST television interview as President
jesus christ, Mindia - that was low, even for you. I thought you were in your 40's, not your teens. totally unnecessary juvenile lashing out - your words hold little clout with people as is.. you should probably take any opportunity you get to *not* be a total asshole - then, maybe one day, when you grow up and be a big boy, people will look at you with higher regard than the gum on their shoes.

Re: Barry grants FIRST television interview as President
lol that was definitely a lash, mindia. that was like a little kid that didn't get the GI Joe he wanted at Toys'R'Us. way to set an example for the youth. i hope you teach your baby well. maybe you can teach him how to jump to conclusions as well as you do
Re: Barry grants FIRST television interview as President
let's all make sure we ignore the reason mindia lashed out with his kickass response about blowing obama. i guess it's cool to say you want someone to die in a or by fire a few times and expect no kind of idiocy in return.
Re: Barry grants FIRST television interview as President
the point is he took it to another level when he made fun of her about something she's never even expressed before. it was sad and laughable
Re: Barry grants FIRST television interview as President
fair enough, i should not have made those two comments. i apologize, mindia, for implying that i want any fire to befall you in any way.
my point: his whole "barry" shtick is immature and annoying and aggravates the hell out of me for reasons having nothing to do with politics. i think it's childish and an unintelligent way to express one's feelings. (for example: i feel the same way about whenever ugzug pops in and calls harrison "lumpy"--drives me bonkers!) if he wants to make a real point about obama's political beliefs or actions, i think he would do himself a big favor to think out what he wants to say and formulate a real opinion. but no, i would not light him on fire given the chance.

I accept your apology, and I apologize for saying you wanted to fellate Barry. I'm gonna keep saying Barry though.
